Chapter 80 Smoker's Visit (Part 2)
Smog completely dispelled the speculation that Garen was willing to fall into depravity and became a bandit because the place he saw was really nothing to do with the word "pirate".
On the contrary, this place is really too positive, making people completely unthinkable that this place was a pirate den not long ago.
The cadres under Garen made Smoger feel a little uncomfortable:
They did not have the vulgar appearance of the sea men at all. They were all kind-hearted and treated others with smiles, which made Smog and the navy think in a trance that they had entered a well-service high-end restaurant.
Those ex-labor workers and ex-pirates would not naturally have such words and deeds. All of this comes from Garen's request.
The indicators of cadre ideological assessment are also linked to Galen's concept of good and evil.
With such an assessment mechanism hanging above your head, those newly-recruited cadres developed and changed towards Galen's image as a model civil servant at an almost magical speed.
Moreover, because of Galen's strength and prestige, these subordinates irresistibly developed a heartfelt admiration for Galen.
After all, these cadres are verified by Galen's great sword, and their views on good and evil are similar to Galen, and they are truly comrades.
Under the leadership of several small cadres, Smog and his group began to head towards Garen's office building, the former Clik's mansion.
Along the way, Smog saw even more strange phenomena:
There are a large group of men with bitter faces and shackles doing cool labor in construction sites, large warehouses and other facilities along the road.
While they were working hard, there were people next to them surveillance and intimidation with swords and guns, which looked no different from slaves.
Such a cruel scene made Dasqi, who is naturally kind, feel a little uncomfortable.
"Who are these?"
Dasqi couldn't help but ask.
"Reformed prisoner."
The young cadre who led the way said a fresh noun and explained:
"They were all the original pirates and were sentenced to labor reform."
"So it's a pirate."
Smoger was immediately indifferent and stopped paying attention to the reform prisoners who looked like slaves.
In his opinion, as long as it is a pirate, it is not worthy of sympathy and pity.
But Dasqi still felt a little reluctant in his eyes, and just continued to ask:
"How long will they do this?"
"how long?"
The young cadre said in a very plain tone: "Life imprisonment."
"Enjoyment?"
Dasqi said in surprise: "Wouldn't he be a slave for life?"
"Not a slave."
The young cadre corrected Dasqi's words seriously:
"They are labor reform prisoners."
"Mr. Galen said: Those who do evil in the name of freedom are not worthy of freedom."
"Then we can't be sentenced to death!"
Dasqi said with some resistance:
“Are they all committed the same level of crimes?”
The young cadre shook his head and said helplessly:
"We do not have a perfect law, nor a formed judicial system here, so Lord Garen can only choose such a one-size-fits-all approach."
“Besides…”
The tone of this young cadre once again revealed a bit of disdain and indifference:
"If they really had a clear conscience, they would have already signed up for the evil test."
The cadres selected by Galen with the great sword are all people with similar views on good and evil.
Therefore, most of Galen's subordinates were naturally hostile to the "pirates" group, just like Galen.
"but..."
The young cadre explained to Dasqi again:
"I heard that Mr. Galen is planning to train professional labor reform instructors..."
"When our system is improved, those labor reform prisoners who perform well during their sentences will receive reasonable commutation of sentences."
Dasqi nodded slightly, finally reluctantly accepting such a seemingly cruel solution.
After the group walked to Garen's office, Garen, who received the notification from his subordinates, had already been waiting at the gate to greet him.
"Smog! Daschi!"
Galen warmly greeted these two old friends who hadn't been separated for a long time:
"Why are you two here?"
Smoger looked at the followers behind Garen and the vast "office building" and immediately said unhappily:
"You have only been missing for a few days, and you have become the leader of the armed group that is surrounded by you."
"If I don't come, you may even hang the pirate flag!"
"Pirate?"
Garen waved his hand and said:
"I'm not a pirate, don't talk nonsense!"
As he said that, Garen turned his head and looked at Miss Weiwei, the secretary beside him.
Because of the lack of talent in the new student organization, Princess Vivi volunteered to work under the command of the Knights; with the royal family's good education level, Vivi has indeed helped Galen, a government rookie, handle a lot of affairs this week.
Seeing Garen's eyes, Vivi immediately handed over a brand new newspaper with knowledge.
Galen handed the newspaper to Smoger:
"Look, what I do will never go against justice!"
Smoger took the newspaper and glanced at it casually, and noticed a large title with extremely familiar style:
"Galen: The Pioneer of Justice in the Reform of the Old Pirate Age"
After reading the content again, it is roughly:
Justice Galen is determined to fight against crime and eliminate the notorious Clike criminal group in the East China Sea in one fell swoop;
Afterwards, Galen decided to base himself on the masses, take root at the grassroots level, send justice to the countryside, help the people get out of trouble, and create a new era of justice while eliminating the legacy of the old pirate era.
Seeing articles with such a strong subjective consciousness, Smoger couldn't help but look for the name of the news author.
Sure enough, he soon saw a familiar signature:
Donghai Daily, Wallace.
"It's this guy's writing again!"
Smoger gritted his teeth and said, "Are you going to fool me with such lies?"
"A liar?"
Garen shook his head and said seriously:
"This is indeed a scene."
"But no organization on the sea will boast about justice like me."
"Present justice?"
Smoger said disdainfully: "It's just pretending to be a righteous person, what's the use?"
"Of course it's useful!"
Galen said without retching:
"I don't care what a person thinks, and no one can care about it."
"But as long as you say it and do it in your hands, that is justice!"
"If you can pretend like this for the rest of your life, you will be an unquestionable justice!"
Smoge pondered for a moment, then asked:
“Then how do you ensure that your tissue does not deteriorate?”
Galen replied without hesitation:
"Of course I will supervise my organization."
"As for me..."
"You can also join my organization to monitor my actions."
“Join your organization?”
